Slime Immortal

It might have looked a little funny when a chubby slime said it wanted to teach others a lesson, but it made Arno feel extremely relieved.

The boss actually took action for him himself.

So touching.

Lord Bran's little eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Let's go and see which rat dares to challenge the loyal knights of our Slime Kingdom."

……

Half a day passed.

The thick fog was cleared again, and Arno, holding Chen Yu and with the heroic Earl Bran standing on his shoulders, returned to the oak forest where they had been attacked before.

The scene was in a mess, with tire tracks extending chaotically into the distance, and cut ropes and some scattered wood chips scattered on the ground.

The carriage that was originally parked on the roadside, along with the carefully packed astronomical telescope parts on the carriage, disappeared without a trace.

The person was not found and the goods were gone.

"Damn thief."

It's fine if these petty thieves just launch a sneak attack.

She even snatched away the gift he prepared for his sister Xiaohua.

The theft is his fault.

Do you really think slimes have no temper?

It seems that we need to find a way to teach these social scum who do not do their work every day a lesson.

Chen Yu's mind was bubbling, and an evil plan suddenly popped into his mind.

Since their target is Arno...

An idea suddenly came to his mind.

The two thieves had already escaped, and there was no point in staying here any longer, so he and Earl Bran returned to the castle.

Arno went back first because he was worried about his wife and children in town.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Arno's figure once again appeared hurriedly at the fortress construction site.

His face showed the fatigue of running all night, but his eyes were unusually determined.

"Boss, I'm back."

In order to prevent his family from being affected, he used the excuse that there were better educational opportunities at the Academy in Smaragdon, Feicheng, and asked Laura to take the children to Feicheng overnight.

He also hired an elite team of adventurers to protect them. Without any worries, he made a decision in his heart.

In the camp, Lord Bran came to join in the fun, still yawning.

Arno sat on the rock, hugging Boss Slime, took a deep breath and said, "Boss, I've made up my mind. I... I plan to accept the curse."

He raised his right hand and concentrated his mind, only to see the skin on his arm quickly change from a healthy complexion to a grayish-white, rough stone texture, as if covered with a layer of hard rock armor.

Then, the petrified part receded like the tide, and flesh and blood returned.

"It was this that saved me yesterday." Arno looked at his hand that had returned to its original state with a complicated look in his eyes, but without the fear and resistance he had before.

"I can feel it, and I can...control it a little bit."

Can be actively controlled.

Could it really be some kind of bloodline?

Chen Yu touched the hard petrified skin curiously, then jumped down lightly and brought out a gray pottery jar from the slime's nest.

Inside the jar was a full jar of gray gravel crystals emitting white light.

Chen Yu pointed at the pottery jar and then at Arno.

"If I can suck these stones clean, I'll probably be able to awaken my bloodline."

"Suck...suck this?"

Arno looked at these glowing stones with a confused look on his face.

"Huh? Glowing stones?"

Lord Bran stretched his neck to look into the pottery jar, and when he saw the shiny thing, his eyes widened instantly.

The crow's nature made it completely defenseless against these little gadgets, but the proud earl would never admit his own habit, so he could only cough and say:

"Your Majesty the Great Slime, ahem... This Earl also wants to try out the effects of this thing."

"Then I'll give you one."

Chen Yu said generously, picking and choosing among them, and finally gave the smallest one.

"Hahaha! Thank you, Your Majesty."

Earl Bran was not picky. He shouted excitedly and flew up to the oak tree with the gray gravel crystal in his mouth. He probably wanted to hide the crystal in the nest that Chen Yu had just built for him yesterday.

Chen Yu jumped into Arno's arms and taught him a simple set of spiritual energy breathing techniques using telepathy.

Although Arno felt it was strange, his trust in his boss outweighed everything.

He sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing clumsily, held a piece of gray gravel crystal in his hands, closed his eyes, and tried to "inhale".

After failing several times, he finally found the trick to the breathing method. Almost instantly, a gentle and pure energy slowly flowed into his body along the meridians in his palms.

This power was completely different from the violent magic he had encountered before. It was gentle and tolerant, nourishing his tired body and mind, making him feel as if he was floating on warm and comfortable clouds.

so comfortable...

He felt like he could fall asleep right now.

What was even more amazing was that under the infiltration of this energy, he felt that the vague barrier in his mind that separated him from the "devil" in his body was becoming clearer than ever, as if it could be broken with a slight poke.

"Boss, I felt it! I saw a 'wall'." Arno opened his eyes in surprise.

Chapter 75 Stone Man Attacks!

"continue."

Arno nodded heavily, took a few more gray gravel crystals, closed his eyes again, and immersed himself more deeply in the gentle spiritual flow.

As more and more spiritual energy was absorbed, the membrane in the mind became almost transparent.

Just when he felt he was about to touch the core——

In the endless darkness deep in consciousness.

A pair of beautiful eyes filled with indescribable charm opened in the darkness without any warning!

Those eyes seemed to contain the flow of galaxies, with depth and a hint of... cold indifference.

"Uh……!"

Arno's body suddenly stiffened, and a fear derived from life's instinct instantly gripped his neck.

He felt like all the blood in his body was solidifying, his bones were creaking, and his skin was hardening rapidly.

He was turning into a stone sculpture at an alarming rate.

When Lord Bran returned and saw this scene, he was frightened.

"It's over, your majesty... he's turned to stone."

Nothing is going to happen, is it?

Chen Yu's heart also began to beat fast.

Arno struggled desperately in the dark consciousness. The feeling of suffocation brought by those eyes and the cold touch of petrification were extremely real.

He felt like he was falling into an eternal abyss, about to follow in the footsteps of all his ancestors... Endless despair and fear almost swallowed him up.

"Do not!!!"

A cry from the depths of his soul erupted in his heart!

The longing for Laura, the promise to the children, the gratitude to the boss, the desire to live... instantly broke through the absolute suppression brought by those evil eyes.

hum!

Just when the grouper was about to cover his face, the spreading petrification seemed to have been pressed in reverse, and it quickly receded like a tide.

The stiff and cold body became soft and warm again.

"Hahaha……"

Arno suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath like a drowning man, his whole body soaked in cold sweat, his heart beating wildly.

The fear from that moment still lingered in his every limb, making him tremble uncontrollably.

Lord Bran flapped his wings in shock. "Alive...alive? You scared me to death. What happened to you, boy?"

Arno looked at his hands, feeling the blood rushing through his body, his heartbeat becoming stronger again, and... an unprecedented, wonderful sense of control.

He tried to move his mind, and his fingertips were instantly covered with a layer of petrified cuticle, which disappeared in an instant.

"Boss..."

His voice was hoarse, filled with the weakness of surviving a disaster and incredible excitement.

"I...I...made it through, and I feel a little different...than before."

It's indeed different from before.

Chen Yu could see it even with his eyes closed.
